How can God use us?
Eladio Alvarez(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The message from Second Kings chapter 2 challenges us to be hungry and thirsty for God, to have a tremendous yearning for the things of God, and to want more and more of God. We must not settle for little and be satisfied with just coming to church once a week, reading a Bible verse, or saying a little prayer. We must seek power, anointing, and blessing from God with all our vehemence and desire. Additionally, we must pay a price and fight against the flesh, sin, bad habits, and problems, but it is possible when we are looking for the presence and power of God. The message also emphasizes that God first paid a price 2000 years ago by sending Jesus Christ to die for our sins, and now we must have complete consecration and commitment to Him.
The speaker talks about the importance of seeking more of God and having a strong desire for His presence. They also discuss the need to pay a price and make sacrifices in order to achieve spiritual growth. The speaker emphasizes the importance of the Holy Spirit in empowering and guiding believers, and encourages listeners to strive for a deeper relationship with God. The prayer of surrender and commitment is recited at the end.
The speaker is praying for more of God's presence in their life and asking the Holy Spirit to take control. They are willing to make sacrifices and submit to God's authority. They thank God for their church's leadership and ask to be taken to another level spiritually. They end with praise and applause.Second Kings chapter 2: the Lord has given me this message as a challenge for my life, and this afternoon it will be a challenge for you. The Word of God is a challenge this afternoon for you, for my life, for our life so that we are no longer the same, so that we are not comfortable, we must get out of that comfort. Paul said: "Do not settle."
The big problem many times for us is conformity. I already have my house, I already have my little house, I already have the Church, now. We settled. But this afternoon is to move us, to challenge ourselves, it is a challenge that I have come to give you through the message of the Word of God, through the experience of this man, we are going to see three things this afternoon.
